You're welcome.
I forgot to mention previously, check the movie for a proper copyright notice.

Exactly. Lack of a proper notice on US films before 1978 means it's PD, no matter what the registration might say. The USCO doesn't check whether renewals are valid or not, since some of their funding has been sent to Afghanistan.

So if you cut out the part of the movie which shows the copyright, is it then PD?

Blade Runner,

If the copyright was not renewed it is still in the public domain from 1944; no need to cut out anything.
